Third green tea tasting note today :D

I agree with Chi Chieko completely. 5-7 minutes as suggested must be too much for greens, so I did maybe about 3 minutes and as there was too little water, I did only 200 ml.

Turned out pretty nice, base tea was somehow basic, but pineapple was certainly there. Unfortunately, it was somehow one-dimensional, simple flavouring. Would enjoy some other tropic fruits there, or they claim it is with ginger, but I do not get any spicy notes. Maybe loose leaf would be bit better.

Flavors: Pineapple

5-7 minutes for green tea? What in the world??

Exactly my thoughts tea-sipper. Even for black tea base it would be too much. Maybe good steeping time for fruit ones? Dunno.

In fruit teas, the hibiscus would get too strong. So you’re right, 5-7 minutes would be too long for most teas!

True as well. Just weird steeping parameters. Luckily I usually do it as I think it’s best. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
